The functional principle of a microwave oven is not related to the resonance frequencies of water, and microwave ovens can therefore operate at many different frequencies. The resonance frequencies of water are about 20 GHz, which would be much too large to penetrate common foodstuffs. Microwave ovens work on the principle of dielectric heating.[92]

A common misconception about chameleons and anoles is that the advantage of changing color is camouflage. In reality, changing color helps to regulate temperature and is used as a form of communication.[158] Some species, such as the Smith's Dwarf Chameleon, do change color as an effective form of camouflage.[159]

It is a common misconception that an earthworm becomes two worms when cut in half. However, only a limited number of earthworm species[161] are capable of anterior regeneration. When such earthworms are bisected, only the front half of the worm (where the mouth is located) can feed and survive, while the other half dies.[162] Species of the planaria family of flatworms actually do become two new planaria when bisected or split down the middle.[163]

Exposure to a vacuum, or experiencing uncontrolled decompression, does not cause the body to explode, or internal fluids to boil. Instead, it would lead to a loss of consciousness once the body has depleted the supply of oxygen in the blood, followed by death from hypoxia within minutes.[224][225][226]

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" was not composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; he only composed variations on the tune, which originated from a French folk song.[369]
